Russian shelling in Ukraine – explosions are heard again

Explosions have again been heard in Ukraine since the morning. Information about shelling is coming in from different areas of the country. – ‘More Russian shelling is only making us angrier,’ Andriy Yermak, head of the office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, stated this morning.

“More missiles are being fired by terrorists who are fighting civilian infrastructure and people,” Yermak wrote in Telegram.

 

“It doesn’t matter, we will hang on. The dream of the Russians about problems (of the Ukrainian army -ed.) in the rear and stopping the liberation of Ukrainian territory is infantile. We are only becoming angrier every day. And that means we will give an even stronger response,” he warned.

 

Media and local authorities are reporting explosions in the Lviv, Volyn, Rivne, Khmelnytskyi, Kyiv, Odesa, and Chernihiv regions on Saturday morning. Anti-aircraft defence forces are active in the regions.

 

In Lutsk, Russian forces hit a power infrastructure facility. Parts of the city are without electricity. The mayor appealed for water supplies. There is also no electricity in the city of Khmelnytskyi.
